Parenting With Love And Logic

The giving of 2 options at every argument and disagreement, whilst 2 other kids are knocking seven bells out of each other is tough. I think when applied with a bit of common sense and compassion for the kids then it can kind of work. But think about it applying it on yourself? If every time you tried to get something you wanted, someone gave you 2 options, neither of which you wanted. How frustrated would you get? " Me: I want to leave work early today." Boss " Well now Michelle, you can either go home on time or get your P45?" Know how I would respond and I suspect that most teenagers would respond the same way. I think that the "how to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk" book is better in my humble opinion, or maybe my kids are just way too smart for this method
